Document discouraged / deprecated setup arguments
We presently document an opinionated set of setup args that are applicable to most packaging scenarios. We also have additional topics for more advanced use cases. However, we don't presently document arguments that should never be used or used with extreme caution.
So far, the ones I'm aware of are:

(Original context: #264)
